Bag ladies - head this way please

[Areallthegoodnamestaken]

I am looking for a FABULOUS clutch that will go with everything. Would like black and structured rather than 'floppy' if you get my drift. LOVE the Mulberry Willow, but that's ridiculously priced. Budget @ £200-£250. Inspiration please ladies...

Err OK
Funnily enough I was on the Osprey site earlier today, never would have thought to link to that bag though OP, you are a card, you could've widened the brief

I like that print on the leather, my Mulberry bag has that too.

I know, slightly off-piste. That's the problem with handbag shopping, doesn't take much.... I am, however, still bereft of a decent black clutch .

Thanks for your efforts anyway Hen.

[HenI5]

No worries, it amused me when you confessed to being tempted totally off piste
It reminded me of the days trudging around the shops with DH because I 'needed' say a new white blouse and at the end of the day buying a pair of black trousers. He would be utterly confused, but now he understands that's the way it goes.

I enjoy looking so it's absolutely no problem.
The search goes on.

I enjoyed looking too and got a new handbag out of it :)

And so did I

Mine was ordered at half four on Wednesday and dispatched yesterday from Italy. The tracking online showed me every scan from place to place until it got to Stansted this morning. It was exciting.
It arrived at half two for a ceremonial opening and much cooing

Everyone's a winner.

Oooh, how exciting - was it everything you hoped for?

And thanks to you too Armani. Oh, and I'm glad to have helped both of you too. If not your respective bank balances.....

I love it. Like I say not everyone's taste but I don't tend to go for the new season's offerings, I just go for what I like and what I think I'll get a lot of use out of. It came beautifully gift wrapped as well with a very generous dust bag and card for authenticity.

[Areallthegoodnamestaken]

That's lovely and v. unusual - am sure your arm will be most pleased :D

[HenI5]

Thank you.
There were only two. I put one in my basket and then thought, no, I shouldn't.
When I went back next day it was still in my basket but the other one had gone.

I took that as a sign, after all, as you say, we ought to keep our arms happy
